About Me

Since the 1990s I have been very involved with fighting the military "don't ask don't tell" policy for gays in the military, and with First Amendment issues. Best contact is 571-334-6107 (legitimate calls; messages can be left; if not picked up retry; I don't answer when driving) Three other url's: doaskdotell.com, billboushka.com johnwboushka.com Links to my URLs are provided for legitimate content and user navigation purposes only.
My legal name is "John William Boushka" or "John W. Boushka"; my parents gave me the nickname of "Bill" based on my middle name, and this is how I am generally greeted. This is also the name for my book authorship. On the Web, you can find me as both "Bill Boushka" and "John W. Boushka"; this has been the case since the late 1990s. Sometimes I can be located as "John Boushka" without the "W." That's the identity my parents dealt me in 1943!

CNN and HBO are hosting the 90-minute documentary “Terror in
Mumbai” about the 2008 terror attack in Mumbai against civilians, largely in
luxury hotels.

The HBO link for the film is here. Fareed Zakaria narrates the film directed b
Daniel Reed, for which filming apparently started in 2009.

The film has a lot of footage of cell phone calls among the
terrorists tracked through a facility in New Jersey after terrorists activated
three SIM cards.

The attacks against civilians were of great brutality,
matched in recent times only by the attacks in Kenya (Nov. 23).

Police in India were shipshod at first and did not try to
take quick hold of the situation.

The attack was later traced to elements within Pakistan
supported by the Pakastani ISI, who used the terror attack targeting apparently
affluent civilians for what they saw as political gains in Kashmir. But the
attack also had radical Islamic elements speaking of the “Army of the righteous”.

170 people died in the attack, including many Muslins. Attackers told the media, “This is just the
trailer, wait for the rest of the film.”
Zakaria warns that the attacks were fed by poverty and despair of young
men leading to a culture of hate, which fantasizes imposing radical Islam on
all of India.

Dateline Lester Hold and Kate Snow in “Nowhere to Hide”, at
the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya, September 21, 2013.

The report gave the details of families where parents were
separated from some of their children.
In some cases, some relatives were still outside the mall, in others
they were sheltered by strangers.

There were cases where people were targeted when their cell
phone ring tones went off.

But cell phone video captured the ordeal of the Walton family.
The older brother Phillip Walton protected
the younger brother, willing to sacrifice himself for family even though he
hadn’t personally “created” it. “He knew
he was responsible for his younger brother” at 14, according to Kate Snow. They hid behind a barricare of flower
beds.

Terrorists seemed determine to target civilians as
“accomplices” of western civilization.

One mother gave an account of getting her kids to play
possum and lie still, and even the two year old did, for 3-1/2 hours. They are approached by a man who turned out
to be a Kenyan policeman. But the Walton boys did not fall for a ruse of
terrorists pretending to be police.

Eventually, a Kenyan civilian helped rescue many of the
people, who knew he was OK because he was not carrying a weapon. It’s unclear how he could float among the
terrorists and be left alone, other than by the color of his skin. The civilian, a Muslim, said that in his mind
religious creed should have no bearing on the value of human life, and he
disagreed with radical islam. The NBC
report seemed to suggest this was religious persecution of Christians and Jews.
The report did not get into the history of Al-Shabaab.

Ohio, near Westlake and Elyria and the Turnpike, to which I have been many
times.

Monday night’s episode (from Nov. 11) of “The Blacklist”
added a new wrinkle into the idea of total financial collapse, Stansberry
style.

This time, radicals associated with “Anonymous” and the
Occupy movements of a couple of years go shut down the air space with airport
attacks so that cash cannot be moved by air.
Then they hijack armored trucks so that cash goes into the hands of the
poor in the demonstrations. I’m not sure
where the counterfeiting opportunity comes in.
But once “Monopoly money” was in regular circulation and could not be
distinguished readily from real bills, the whole artifice of a financial
establishment would collapse, and a barter world would ensue. That seemed to be the theory.

Spader’s character also smothered a terminal patient, a
relative, in bed, in a surprisingly touching scene.

It does seem that NBC’s “The Blacklist” is becoming a
catalogue of existential threats to our way of life.

A startling episode this evening (Monday, November 4, 2013)
of NBC’s “The Blacklist” shows how a major terror attack on a subway could
happen. The episode is called “Frederick
Barnes”, named after the mad-scientist character who, in grief over an ill son,
engineers the attacks. The weapon starts
with a steel briefcase, which is left on a subway car and then activated by
remote control when the train leaves. It
is also used in a courtroom.

The episode mentions strontium-90 and radioactivity
contamination, and the patients seem to have swollen blood vessels. It’s not clear what the gas is, and whether
it is a poison or infectious agent. There seems to be an antidote, but Barnes
actually invades a hospital to keep a patient from recovering. As this episode shows, many hospitals do not
have airtight security in their patient wings or intensive care rooms, which
are almost like regular hospital rooms in many cases.

The attack is said to happen on the Washington DC Metro Red
Line. But the trains used in the episode look like the trains from the Toronto
Metro (which I have ridden once). Also,
there is a Farragut North but no Farragut East on the real Metro.

The Pilot of the series, in which a captured spy gives
information about future attacks to a young woman and FBI agent who may be his
daughter, was reviewed on the TV Blog Sept. 24, 2013.

See also a report of a simulation of a similar incident by ABC Sept. 10, 2013.
